Description:

Manufactured in 1936, this is a very fine example of an early military contract, "S" date code, Krieghoff Luger. These pistols were part of the first approximately 10,000 Lugers manufactured by Krieghoff under contract for the German Luftwaffe. The toggle is marked with the "H (anchor) K/SUHL" type C-2 roll marking and the "S" date code is on the chamber. The serial number "3860" is on the front of the frame and the left of the chamber. The right side of the chamber has the correct two "eagle/2" Luftwaffe acceptance proofs and an "eagle" proof, with "eagle/2" repeated on the right of the frame and bottom of the barrel, which also has the bore measurement, and an eagle proof on the right of the barrel. The "GESICHERT" safety marking is of the correct type B style. It is fitted with serrated blade front and notch rear sights, unnumbered correct pattern checkered plastic grips, and a nickeled magazine with aluminum base marked "3860" and with a Luftwaffe "eagle/2" acceptance proof. Includes a black leather holster with "eagle/2" acceptance mark inside.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 97% plus of the bright original blue finish with some very light holster type muzzle and edge wear. 95% of the bright original straw colors remain. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The holster is exceptionally fine overall.
